Helping Couples Heal with Caring and Impactful Therapy in Brentwood, TN
We can’t have relationship if we don’t feel a secure, safe connection with our partner. So many couples reach out to Cypress Counseling Group to help heal their relationship and many times their connection feels frayed and fragile. When the foundation of the relationship seems eroded it is impossible to navigate all the rest of what the world has to throw at us. Infidelity, ongoing conflict, addiction, abuse, growing apart, busyness, loneliness…all these struggles show up when we lose sight of our partner being there for us.
Our Approach to Relationship Therapy & Counseling
Through the Emotionally Focused Therapy model (EFT) we uncover painful patterns of interaction where deep hurt and wounding has left us fearful to let our walls down with each other. The distress of this disconnection is almost too much to bear at times and we move to angry or hurtful pursuit of our partner, or withdrawal and disconnection to get away from the pain. We can slow this emotional dance down. With EFT, we can start to create connection, and from this secure base, begin the work to repair the wounding we often find is fueling the conflict and pain in your marriage. You may not ever have your old marriage back, but what you will find is that there is the potential to have a marriage you never knew was possible. A therapist can help you both slow down and start to talk about what is behind the content of an argument to get at the process of how you show up with each other. Our goals as therapists is to make it safe to have conversations around longings, fears, hurts and hopes.
Couples Therapy is not the same as Individual Therapy with your Partner in the Room
Couples work is focused on the relationship as the client. We work as therapists to understand how you feel when you are close to someone important to you, what makes you feel safe and what makes you want to pull back. We have to understand the roots of how you learned to be in the most important relationships in your story to best understand how you move in your relationship now. Together, we will walk back into some of the connections you have had that have been safe and healing for you and some that have been hurtful or traumatic to best understand where “raw spots” might be impacting how your body and your nervous system can connect with the person in front of you today.
The Impact of a Relationship in Crisis: How it Effects your Daily Life
Doing work to heal your most important relationship can have a huge impact on the way the rest of your life feels to you. Think about how disruptive and untethered you can feel when your partner and you are not getting along. It can effect how we parent, how we show up at work distracted or attuned to the job at hand and it absolutely impacts our physical and emotional health in how we feel in a stressed out body or in a peaceful body. Taking the time to slow down and tune into doing the work of healing a relationship that is important to you can have far reaching effects across your life.

“LOVE IS A VERB. It’s not a permanent state of enthusiasm. It’s not about finding the right person. If you just want to be dazzled, then you will have an adventure. You will be infatuated. You will have a love story, maybe, but you won’t have a life story. And a life story is different than a love story.”
